Felix Hart, Head of Wine at Gatesave Supermarkets, is in a highly problematic spot. Choking his CEO to death during a boardroom presentation, through virtually no fault of his own, was embarrassing enough. But evidence that Gatesave's biggest South African wine supplier is brutalising its workers threatens a far greater scandal. Felix is ordered to Cape Town to suppress the bad publicity, only to find himself stranded, penniless, at a morally suspect township guesthouse.Persecuted by his bosses, blackmailed by his suppliers, and terrorised by politicians, policemen and other criminals, Felix is forced to go deep undercover and fling himself on the mercy of his township hosts. But the forces ranged against Felix and his new allies are as powerful as they are ruthless, and Felix soon realises that he is very much expendable.';In a world of half-baked identity politics, blinkered western privilege and corporate woke-washing, Felix Hart is the white saviour we most need, and Firing Blancs the novel we most deserve.'Dr. Jemima Pickelkopf, The New Intersectional Review ';Problematic, quite possibly. Counter-cultural, almost certainly. Hilarious, indisputably.'Santiago Tormentas, The East Acton Herald ';Uncork a bottle, self-isolate and prepare to be amused.'Brett Applesaft, The Cellar Badger

Whatever happened to Abyssinia?Home to some of Evelyn Waugh's Remote Peoples in the 30s, it has morphed into present-day Ethiopia. To what extent would Waugh still recognise the Abyssinia of old in the Ethiopia of today? As a result of a chance remark, Laurence Impey, expecting to live in contented retirement, found himself volunteering to spend three months teaching English in Lalibela. For centuries a remote and revered place of pilgrimage, Lalibela lies at the heart of Ethiopia's history and culture. What was it like for a septuagenarian to be uprooted from his 21st century creature comforts and conveniences and transplanted into a society still little touched by the industrial revolution, let alone the internet age? This collection of dispatches conveys something of the challenges, surprises and delights he encountered. Writing home to friends and family, he records aspects of his daily experiences: donkeys rather than cars; hands rather than cutlery; jerry cans rather than taps; chalk and talk rather than technology. But these dispatches also highlight the significance of faith and family in a pre-consumerist society, and the value placed on education, "the key to life". This is a book of curiosities, heart-warming observations, and personal reactions to the alien and exotic culture he found in Lalibela - a book to charm, to entice and to give cause for reflection
